It blends in without being sticky
I saw on social media that it was good for dark knees, so I bought it right away. I've been applying it to my knees after bathing for two months, and moisturizing with another lotion, but I haven't seen any visible results... I was really hopeful, so I'm shocked. I'll try to use it up, but I don't think I can expect much.
I've been using this for about 10 years. I have combination skin, a little oily around the nose, and in the winter, while it's not so dry that it flaks, my cheeks sometimes sting due to the dryness. I sometimes switch to Albion's Skin Conditioner for a change of pace (I love the scent so much), but I generally like to splash this on. It's not sticky, doesn't leave you feeling unsatisfied, and is reasonably priced, so I like it. I don't really see the whitening effect... I'm a little sad that the refill size has gotten smaller, but the bottle has changed from a swivel cap to a snap-on type, and it no longer foams up and overflows when refilling, so that's good. I don't plan on going back to using lotion for now, and I think I'll continue using it for a long time to come.
Many lotions don't suit me, so I often use department store brands based on instinct, but this one is alcohol-free, which appealed to me! It also contains vitamins for whitening effects, and I think the affordable price is great!
